it's always the first song on my ipod, and i like to think it'll come on the radio in the car when i'm finally released from prison and on to here knows when.

It shows how effective the word "drifter" is over "hobo".

walkin' down the only road you've ever known.

good tune.

i like whitesnake mostly. slide it in is good. it's a lil' more 70s rock but cool.

i have an vandenberg cassette somewhere, remember liking a few songs off that.

ha, i've been listening to this song a lot myself.

i love the chorus, it's so gigantic. i love gigantic choruses.

"watching as mediocrity gets canonised around you in this inevitable, grinding fashion is even more dispiriting than dealing with the monolith of the existing canon of mediocrity"

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:48 (6 years ago) Permalink

i always heard it growing up as "like a prisoner i was born to walk alone" which makes slightly less sense

― strongohulkington, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 16:48 (6 years ago) Permalink

marcello i think we have some years to go before whitesnake is "canonized"

no yeah this song rocks.

al if you look out your window soon you may see me triumphantly striding off to get a sandwich while listening to this

no sandwich has ever seemed more important, more fraught with potential heartbreak

I did actually put this on after being fired once. I also once listened to Hall & Oates "She's gone" after being dumped.

It's alright. I can almost feel it. I mean, I can feel my way to what I'm supposed to feel, but once I get there, I can't quite feel the thing itself. The thing itself eludes my feeling, a soapy breast.

i never knew about this idea that you had to 'choose' between use yr illusion and nirvana, but maybe we were slightly too young to understand.

― artdamages, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 20:49 (6 years ago) Permalink

You don't have to choose. But for me personally, once I heard one of them, it was hard to go back and listen to the other.

artdamages on Tuesday, 20 March 2007 20:49 (16 minutes ago)

it wasn't like you "had" to choose......but at the same time it felt like things were changing, i was more drawn to other stuff....you had to be the "right age" probably though...i remember some friends of mine, dudes that still liked metal, giving me shit for wearing a beastie boys check yr head shirt.

I remember a guy who loved the Ramones because, as he put it, "They never changed, man."

A certain beauty in that, but not what I'm after.

I really clearly remember waking up in the middle of the night and wandering downstairs to find my dad howmpfing White Castle burgers, watching MTV - first time I ever heard/saw "Smells Like Tine Spirit" (video). I was all "what's he saying?", and dad was like "what does it matter?".

― nickalicious, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 21:33 (6 years ago) Permalink

yep i was 16 or 17 which is a pretty big difference at that age.

why does every pop metal thread devolve into talking about nirvana?

― artdamages, Thursday, 22 March 2007 18:15 (6 years ago) Permalink

well not just that, every pop metal thread says the SAME THING about nirvana.

― billstevejim, Thursday, 22 March 2007 18:17 (6 years ago) Permalink

i know! that's a great bit. i'm imagining it looped over and over again. i could listen to that for, like, a while

i hear that Nirvana sounded like a lot of bands that existed years earlier than. most of them never sold many records.

(than them.)

― artdamages, Thursday, 22 March 2007 18:20 (6 years ago) Permalink

so let's talk about something else then!

wasn't it weird that nikki sixx was like the only bassist ever who was the coolest member of the band?

i remember being weirded out when i found out that Y&T had been a band since like 1968 or something...they just kept changing w/the times and ended up as a pop metal band.

"night songs" by cinderella holds up SURPRISINGLY well, as does "long cold winter"

does anyone remember the album "No Respect" by Vain...honest to god, I swear it's like the lost classic of that LA glam era.

― M@tt He1ges0n, Thursday, 22 March 2007 18:27 (6 years ago) Permalink

what was the deal with D.A.D.? they had this weird scandanavian vibe about them, like i wonder if they used to in punk bands like the junkyard dudes or maybe in a hanoi rocks kinda thing? "sleeping the day away" was a great song though.

― M@tt He1ges0n, Thursday, 22 March 2007 18:28 (6 years ago) Permalink

actually maybe geir hongro knows the secret 411 on DAD?

i remember when we still lived in the old house, i had my entire room wallpapered with posters and cutout pages of circus, hit parader, metal edge, rip, etc....man i wish i woulda saved some of those...i remember i had a sweet one of the iron maiden stage setup for the somewhere in time tour.

I used to cut up the CD long boxes and make wall collages out of them. I even manged to work in Tesla's Five Man Electrical Jam artwork into there!

i never heard the word "hesher" growing up....i think lifter puller was the first time i heard that....maybe it's not a southern MN thing....people said "dirtballs" or "motorheads"

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 22 March 2007 19:37 (6 years ago) Permalink

hesher is a pretty east coast thing i think.

it's wierd, other than liking this song when i was 9, i really hated this kind of music, at the time! i never liked motley crue or any of that, and EVERYBODY did around me. actually i take that back, i loved "slippery when wet" when i was in 3rd grade, i probably still have that memorized if i ever heard it again.

but now i totally adore pyromania and hysteria, i think those two records really are their own thing, somehow

― gff, Thursday, 22 March 2007 19:52 (6 years ago) Permalink

We said "hesher" (or "hescher") in the mid-south.

I was surprised that in Missouri, they called hicks Hoosiers.
